Treana Red Blend 2021

Cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant before serving.

Robust and muscular, this powerful Californian blend is sure to please lovers of big, bold reds. Hope Family Wines sources the fruit from their finest Paso Robles vineyards. Here the combination of warm summer sunshine and cooling ocean breezes help to produce exceptional grapes with perfect balance and ample complexity.

The Treana blend is composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Syrah grapes which are harvested in late September through to early October and fermented by individual plot. The young wine is then aged in French oak barrels for 15 months before the final blend is made. It then ages in barrel for another three months to harmonise all the different components and add extra complexity.

The result is a full-bodied and richly layered wine which opens with handsome dark berry notes and hints of leather and dried fruit. The first sip reveals a silky smooth texture, firm tannins and a well-built structure which will respond well to additional cellaring over the next 10 years or so. The bold flavour profile makes this a great match for hearty red meat dishes if you do decide to drink it now, such as barbecued ribs or a prime steak and fries.
